    摘要: A pelvic implant having a central support portion, and a plurality of extension members, is provided. The extension members can be positioned or extend from the central support portion in opposing pairs. The extension members are generally attached to the central support portion at respective junctions (e.g., via rivets), and sheaths or covers can be employed to cover at least a length or portion of the extension members. Further, one or more spanning members can extend from a first of the opposed and paired extensions to the opposing extension, e.g., under or across the central portion and the respective junctions to provide additional tensile strength for the implant during deployment or implantation.

    摘要: Implantable medical devices to relieve problems associated with incontinence and related pelvic disorders and methods of implanting same are disclosed. Stimulation leads for placement in the pelvic floor have fixation mechanisms for stabilization of the stimulation electrodes to inhibit dislodgement from a selected stimulation site. In certain embodiments, the fixation mechanisms encourage fibrosis about the lead to chronically stabilize the position of the stimulation lead and/or stimulation electrode(s). In certain embodiments, the fixation mechanisms are isolated from body tissue during routing of the stimulation lead through a tissue pathway and then exposed to body tissue to encourage fibrosis.

    摘要: A pelvic Implant system is provided. The system can include one or more implant devices (11) to treat incontinence and other pelvic floor disorders or dysfunctions. The system can include one or more implant devices having an extension portion (12) (e.g., mesh), one or more tip portions (14,16) (e.g., self-fixating tips), and one or more intermediate anchors (18a, 18b) disposed along the extension portion, intermediate the one or more tip portions. The intermediate anchors are shaped and sized for engagement with the internal pelvic tissue, with the extension portion in turn providing support for the corresponding pelvic tissue.

    摘要: A device for inserting a penile implant prosthesis through an incision into a corpus cavernosum is provided. The device includes an elongated, rigid body having a tip portion and tail portion, the tip portion including two prongs extending in a tip direction and a center portion between the two prongs, the prongs and center portion defining a notch adapted to engage and exert a force along the tip direction on a corner where a cylinder portion and a pump tubing of the prosthesis join each other, the prongs and center portion further defining a recess on one side of the center portion, the recess adapted to at least partially receive the cylinder portion or the pump tubing. The elongated body of the device defines a channel disposed along a substantial portion of the elongated body. The tail portion of the elongated body can be formed as a paddle adapted to be inserted between the cylinder and tissues near or at the incision to prevent puncturing of the cylinder when the incision is being sutured closed. The tail portion can also be a rounded tail end adapted to engage an end of the cylinder portion for pushing the cylinder portion into the corporal body. The tip portion can extend either in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the elongated body or form an angle with it, depending on the desired operation.
